Express Entry

Express Entry stands as Canada’s foremost immigration system, allowing applicants to pursue Canadian permanent residency upon achieving the required CRS score and receiving their Invitation to Apply. It’s vital to understand that Express Entry isn’t an immigration program itself but rather an online system designed to manage Canada’s immigration application intake and provide a clear pathway to permanent residency. Eligible Express Entry candidates have the opportunity to create an EE Profile, valid for 12 months, to potentially receive an Invitation to Apply from the Canadian Federal Government or an interested Canadian province. Upon receiving the ITA, candidates can then submit a PR application for processing.
Express Entry covers the following programs: Federal Skilled Worker Program, Federal Skilled Trades Program, Canadian Experience Class. To immigrate to Canada under the Federal Skilled Worker program, a foreign worker must have at least one year of eligible experience and meet other requirements. Candidates are evaluated based on six selection factors, including language skills, education, work experience, age, job offer, and adaptability in Canada.

LMIA (Labour Market Impact Assessment)

An LMIA, or Labour Market Impact Assessment, is a document issued by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) that assesses the impact of hiring a foreign worker on the Canadian labor market. It’s an essential step for Canadian employers who want to hire foreign workers for certain job positions in Canada. The purpose of the LMIA is to ensure that hiring a foreign worker won’t negatively affect the job opportunities or wages of Canadian citizens or permanent residents and that the hiring is justifiable.
There are several types of LMIA, each designed to address specific situations or categories of foreign workers. The main types of LMIA include:

1. High-Wage LMIA: This type of LMIA is for job positions where the wage being offered to the foreign worker is considered high according to the prevailing wage rates in the specific region of Canada. High-wage LMIAs are typically for positions where the wage offered is above the provincial/territorial median wage.
2. Low-Wage LMIA: Low-wage LMIAs apply to job positions where the wage offered to the foreign worker is below the provincial/territorial median wage. Employers must meet additional requirements, such as advertising the job position more extensively and demonstrating their commitment to transitioning to a Canadian workforce over time.
3. Global Talent Stream (GTS) LMIA: The Global Talent Stream is a program designed to facilitate the hiring of highly skilled foreign workers for certain occupations. It aims to expedite the LMIA process for employers in fields such as technology and STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) by providing faster processing times.
4. Agricultural LMIA: This type of LMIA is specific to the agricultural sector. It allows Canadian agricultural employers to hire temporary foreign workers to address labor shortages during planting, cultivating, and harvesting seasons.
5. Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program (SAWP) LMIA: SAWP LMIAs are for agricultural employers who want to hire temporary foreign workers for seasonal agricultural work. This program is often used for fruit and vegetable farming.
6. Low and High-wage Pilot LMIAs: These pilot programs were introduced to address labor shortages in certain regions and industries. They have specific requirements and may provide different pathways for employers to hire foreign workers.
7. In-Home Caregiver LMIA: This LMIA category is for families or individuals in Canada who wish to hire a foreign caregiver to provide in-home care for children, seniors, or individuals with high medical needs.
It’s important for Canadian employers and foreign workers to determine the appropriate type of LMIA based on the specific job position, wage offered, and other relevant factors. The LMIA process can be complex, and requirements may change over time, so it’s advisable to consult with Canadian immigration authorities or a qualified immigration professional when applying for an LMIA.
